 merrie says: In "The Libertarian Voter," David Boaz, Cato executive vice president and author of The Politics of Freedom, writes: "Recent polls suggest that 10 to 20 percent of Americans hold 'fiscally conservative, socially liberal' or libertarian views. Indeed, libertarians are a bigger share of the electorate than the much-discussed 'soccer moms,' and they are increasingly a swing vote. Libertarians as a swing voteI believe this will ultimately be a good thing for American politics if the movement is able to gain traction and grow. In the short term it will hurt Conservative momentum. I remember reading recently that Republicans were wanting to force libertarian views out of the party ( it may have been one of your clips, merrie). Here is my problem - this just goes to show that the Republicans and Dems are playing tennis with the electorate and we just do not seem to mind being the tennis ball. Conservatives used to be libertarian. Now Conservatives have been inundated by Progressive Neocons. It is my hope that Conservatives will not be divided and I thin... I would love to see term limits in congress, but it would be a long and painful fight for that to happen. The people in congress have outlived their uselessness and it's time to throw the bums out. It must be outlined in the US Constitution, as to how the procedure works. I'm guessing, but I think it originates in each of the individual states Capitals. Both parties in D.C. want bigger federal government and continued corporate cronyism. |
